Funny to watch the same people who went into a panic attack over the mere mention of the name Bush, now singing the praises of this monster Obama.


The Humble Libertarian: Bush 2.0: 100 Ways Barack Obama Is Just Like George W. Bush

Quote:
In fact, every negative aspect of the Bush Administration has come back with a vengeance in the presidency of Barack H. Obama. Everything the American people detested so strongly about Bush has not only characterized the presidency of his successor, it's gotten much worse. Don't believe me? The following is a list of 100 ways President Obama is just like President Bush

The Press would not dare hold a President accountable who is of darker skin and a Democrat.

Both Stink, One was held accountable.
I'd like to know what rock you've been under.

Actually I think they are both terrible Presidents. Back to back I don't think we have ever had more ineffective leaders. That said, I do prefer Obama, but only because of his stance on social issues.

I can agree with you on this point.

What stance? Increased drug war, raids on medical marijuana clinics, no legal gay marriage?

Stances don't mean a thing, only action does.

He's made progress with equalizing rights for gays and lesbians. That's far more than any other President. He's still pro choice. The raid on the medical marijuana clinic was odd I agree, since he did order DOJ to stop doing that.

Overall, you are right. He hasn't done much in that regard, but it will certainly be better than any GOP contender.

Except for contender Ron Paul.

I prefer G.W. Bush because of this:
National Debt increases

Pres. Obama... $4.1 billion/day
Pres. G.W. Bush... $1.6 billion/day

Obama uses left cover to continue Bush policies. Just because Obama has a D next to his name doesn't make it okay to launch wars, be a puppet of Wall St, corporate welfare and going farther to a police state.
